relating to the California Coastal Act.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 988, Hertzberg.  Local coastal program:  City of Malibu.
   (1) The existing California Coastal Act of 1976 imposes certain
restrictions on development in the coastal zone of the state and
requires each local government located within the coastal zone to
prepare a local coastal program.
   This bill would require the California Coastal Commission, on or
before January 15, 2002, to submit to the City of Malibu an initial
draft of the land use portion of the local coastal program for the
City of Malibu portion of the coastal zone.  The bill would require
the commission, on or before September 15, 2002, after public hearing
and consultation with the City of Malibu, to adopt a local coastal
program for that area within the City of Malibu portion of the
coastal zone.  The bill would require the City of Malibu, subsequent
to the certification of the local coastal program, to immediately
assume coastal development permitting authority, pursuant to the act,
thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.  The bill would
provide that, notwithstanding specified requirements for the review
and approval of development projects, once the City of Malibu assumes
coastal development permitting authority pursuant to provisions of
the bill, no application for a coastal development permit shall be
deemed approved if the city fails to take timely action to disapprove
or deny the application.
  (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state.  Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 30166.5 is added to the Public Resources Code,
to read:
   30166.5.  (a) On or before January 15, 2002, the commission shall
submit to the City of Malibu an initial draft of the land use portion
of the local coastal program for the City of Malibu portion of the
coastal zone, which is specifically delineated on maps 133, 134, 135,
and 136, which were placed on file with the Secretary of State on
September 14, 1979.
   (b) On or before September 15, 2002, the commission shall, after
public hearing and consultation with the City of Malibu, adopt a
local coastal program for that area within the City of Malibu portion
of the coastal zone that is specifically delineated on maps 133,
134, 135, and 136, which have been placed on file with the Secretary
of State on March 14, 1977, and March 1, 1987.  The local coastal
program for the area shall, after adoption by the commission, be
deemed certified, and shall, for all purposes of this division,
constitute the certified local coastal program for the area.
Subsequent to the certification of the local coastal program, the
City of Malibu shall immediately assume coastal development
permitting authority, pursuant to this division.  Notwithstanding the
requirements of Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 65920) of
Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, once the City of Malibu
assumes coastal development permitting authority pursuant to this
section, no application for a coastal development permit shall be
deemed approved if the city fails to take timely action to approve or
deny the application.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because a
local agency or school district has the authority to levy service
charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or
level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section
17556 of the Government Code.
